Uninstall Win 98 bypassing Add/Remove...

I need to uninstall Win 98 which has been a total nightmare on my IBM 755 CDV Laptop. I saved my Win 98 uninstall information but whenever I go to in through Add/Remove it always takes me to some Corel uninstall utility. Is there anyway to uninstal Win 98 and bypass the Add/Remove dialogue?

Absolutely. You could reformat the partition in which Win98 resides. If you don't want to reformat, you could manually delete the files and folders for 98 in a Dos prompt.

If you want to do the uninstall from the Add/Remove option, you will have to edit the Win98 Uninstall line with TweakUI. I suspect that the command line for the Win98 Uninstall is pointing to the Corel uninstall. With TweakUI, you can edit the command line and point it to the uninstall file for win98. Alternatively, check to see if there is a Uninstall98 folder on your harddrive and click on any executables that pertain to uninstall. This might work.

Well essentially I have this IBM Laptop that was running Win95. So like a fool I install Win98. Well now it runs like crap - no hibernation, crashes at battery warnings, and no control over the functionality (infa red, etc.) So I want to ditch 98 but can't uninstall it. I will look in the Uninstall directory which looks like a promising solution.
